I know for a fact the Alamo is haunted. I was in the Alamo one night after it closed and saw an evil looking ghost. I ended up striking up a conversation with him. We talked about the battle for the Alamo and how if the Texans would have had graduates of the CPEC course, a better sense of tactics like an Emergency Services Team, and some one-on-one training with SSgt Vance “Screaming Eagle” Smith they might have whipped the Mexicans. We continued our conversation over a few Bud-Lites and an MRE. The ghost told me he lost a good friend at the Alamo named Pvt. Marc Garcia. Marc was a Mexican soldier that had switched sides and was fighting for the Texans because they were the only one’s that would let him wear his combat shoulder patch. He seemed like a really nice ghost once I got to know him.

I may not have had any family die there. I know this story to be true. When I was younger, my family and I walked around down town and passed the Alamo and I saw this face of a man with a raccoon hat on. Later, I found out that man was the one and only David Crocket and that he was one of the men to die there.

those stories are out of this world!!! i have never had an encounter like that at the Alamo but i got a wierd vibe when i went inside

I was at the Alamo for my 15th birthday when I heard a fiddle playing in a fast pitched manner. I turned around and there was a man that I assumed was David Crockett he did not have a Raccoon hat on but I found out that he didn’t wear things like that. Anyways he was see through he looked at me and I saw him smile, he whispered something about the Mexican army and then instead of vanishing turned into a little blue or or something.

i went to the alamo and i did get a weird vibe but i didnt encounter any ghost unlike these people that wrote a couple of comments.

It’s weard!! When I went there this summer, I saw a shadow of a man by a tree I moved it and it was still there then I felt a strange sensation on my shoulder and told my mom about it while we were there.

the alamos gay becuase i have been there 5 times and its was 2 times in the day and 3 at night and i dont see nothing there

I’m sorry to burst all your bubbles, but the supposed “ghosts” of the Alamo are not real. I’ve been there countless times, and never once have I encountered anything that could not be explained. Once, I thought I felt a chilly wind blow over my shoulders and I ran to my parents, terrified. We went back and descovered I was merely standing next to an air conditioning vent. And the first guy who commented, with the ghost that liked beers, I pretty sure he was drunk himself. “Ghosts” are not beings and therefore cannot consume any food or drink. It’s impossible. And the eerie feeling you get while there? No duh! Hundreds of people died on that site. You set foot anywhere on that property and you are probably standing where a dead body once laid. That would creep anyone out if you think about it. And if you go there expecting something, your mind will play tricks on you and something as simple as an eerie vibe or a shadow can be misconstrued as a ghostly, paranormal encounter. Face the facts, ghosts do not exist.

Rebecca…. if they dont exist then what are you doing on this site?

I haven’t seen any ghost there, but I do believe and I can understand if they were there.

that stuff is true! i know it is because i was there with my family and somehow we got seperated and i was, like, wandereing around and then i heard crying and i went to this little hallway and saw a little girl in a corner, and i like helping people so i asked her what was wrong, and she told me her dady was dead, and he was killed right here and she grabed my hand and took me to this little spot of ground and pointed, and i swear i saw a guy writhering on the ground and i think he said “Thank u,” and he closed his eyes and i asked him if he was having a heart attack and he didnt answer and i got really freakd out because i thought “OMG, this guy just died in front of me” and i looked at the girl, and SHE WAS GONE! and i looked at the guy, and he dissapered!

We have been to the Alamo many times, and have NEVER had an encounter with any ghosts. never seen any faces, or heard any strange noises. The Alamo is not haunted.

i too have been to the alamo countless times. apparently several of the posters do not realize that the “alamo” is not actually the real alamo. it was destroyed and rebuilt. to add to that, it’s not even really in the same spot, right next to it, but not the same spot. and on top of that, the alamo was the church in the compound which held the women and children during the battle. they were all taken out and killed or released to mexican custody, not killed “in” the alamo. some people watch to many movies, they are all inaccurate.

When was the Alamo destroyed and rebuilt? I went to the official Alamo website, as well as the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library website. Neither site mentions it being destroyed and rebuilt in a different site. The Alamo is on the original site. It was heavily damaged but was repaired after the battle. There is a picture of the damaged building before it was repaired. It is obvious the building was not completely destroyed. See for yourself: http://www.drtl.org/History/Alamo3.asp
The original church collapsed, but that was PRIOR to the battle at the Alamo. It was rebuilt before the battle. What most people don’t realize is the Alamo once comprised of more than just the church. There was a wall surrounding the place, making it a large fortress.

Me and my family went to the Alamo one night. I was scared because that place was haunted i had heard. When i went inside i saw a chain hanging from the celing people had died there in that very chain so i went there for temptation and i heard a loud yell that said ahhhhh help me, and i ran out and peed on my pants.

i went 2 the alamo that place is totally haunted.when i went me and my familly took a pic.once we revealled it there was face by the fence.Next time im goin to the alamo at night and just run around and see wat happens lol im not scared of nobody!!!

While reading through the horrifying stories of others I felt a strong since of satisfaction to know Im not the only one. Long ago, well 3 years ago I went on vacation with my cousin Skip, he told me that the alamo was haunted and I laughed. Later on we stopped by the alamo, I was admiring the building when I noticed a bird perched on top of it. I stared at the bird, and the bird stared back. I knew in that moment that the bird was possessed by a ghost. I have never been the same. When I see birds I run and scream, I sometimes even vomit. I think that was the curse given to me from an evil spanish spirit. I’ll never visit the alamo again and I will never bird watch like my grandma.

Dear fellow Americans,

I come to you with brilliant evidence, justification, and most importantly, answers. Now read carefully, for I shall only type this once. The bird Roberta was speaking of, was infact my Uncle Phillip IV. Long ago, my Uncle Phillip IV would have intense hallucinations that birds were flocking in his chambers at dawn and sunrise. “Uncle Phillip IV! Uncle Phillip IV!” I would say, “What is that you see?” Birds young willy, it is birds I see, he would reply. But when I looked out the window, all I would see were Spanians working on the house next door. Then my Uncle Phillip IV went to fight in the cold war. It was very cold. When we heard of the tragic news that Uncle Phillip IV had passed, it was learned that his last dying wish was to be buried on a perch of the red ribbon tree outside the Alamo, in hopes to be reincarnated as the chirping brown sparrow. Thus after reading Roberta’s heart felt apposition, I am at peace now that Uncle Phillip IV’s wishes had been granted. This fact concludes that the ALAMO is indeed haunted, and this was his story.

Thank you.

I have been to the Alamo numerous times expecting to see something but never do. The only weird thing i saw was this one guy smoking something and playing a violin right outside the alamo. Oh and Willy i knew your uncle as a matter of fact i was the one that turned him into a bird.

Bill Smithers is a gay* homosexual*.

Blood Texas Southside da Realist

Well i have been to the alamo a few times. THe last time i went i was thirteen and now i am older but i have never experienced anything so i really don’t believe its haunted i just think it was another story to amuse or terrify people. I also think that some of these people here are not telling the whole truth. Though that is just what i think I am not calling any body a liar

The number 666 can be seen on the Alamo in the right corner as you face the front. It appeared and cannot be washed off. Ghost tour of San Antonio pointed it out and it is really there. Check it out.

stupid gay storie

I srongly believe that the Alamo is haunted. I meanafter whathappened here, how could it not be haunted?

One time when I went to the Alamo For a class feild trip I was standing near the well and I saw a man appear at the bottom of the well and when I looked around I saw men some laughing in a terible high pitched sound and some men crying. One mane looked defintly familiar. It was David Crocket. He wore a small Raccon Hat and had an enormas knife in his right pocket. I ran to my techer and group. They all looked but then everything was gone.

My name is Roger, and I’m a 34 year old Olive Garden employee/dishwasher. I still live with my mom, and yes, for those of you wondering I do happen to be fond of Dungeons and Dragons. We decided to take a trip to the marvelous city of San Antonio, and this is my story. Once upon a time I too took a grand visit to the infamous Alamo. I was helping my mom wheel around her oxygen tank,and while she lit her Newports I happened to notice a man through the smoke she blew into the hot summer air. I stood shocked because a man in the distance seemed to have a rabid raccoon attacking the top of his head. Even more strange, he was playing the violin ever so passionately. As I looked closer I saw that the raccoon was dead, and placed ever so carefully on his head. He seemed to be doing some foreign dance to celebrate the varment’s death and continued to play the violin. Suddenly my mother, Beatrice, went into an asthmatic attack, and I turned my attention to her. When i looked back I noticed that the strange tribal man was gone. When we got back to the trailer park, I told my mom about the days events. She seemed to be in shock, but it was just another asthmatic episode. I wanted to tell her after she took her breathing treatments, but she fell asleep on the kitchen floor from too much Southern Comfort. Anyways this is the first time I’ve told this story to anyone. Or for that matter had contact with the real world. The End.

i really want to experience the chill and the feeling of bieng afraid,i really want to to alamo and find out how spooky it is……..grrrrrrrrrr……

Well first of all there is no such things as ghosts and second of all the Alamo is not haunted okay! gosh why would people think there are ghost here its just ur imagination gosh! well think about people

Dearest Brianna Bustos and “beautiful”,

Next time I encounter a ghost I shall tell it to attack you and your stupid self! Girl go on. Mind yo bidness. I know what I saw and I saw what I know. So shove it! As for you beautiful, your name baffles me. You seem to be an advocate towards “seeing is believing”….I haven’t seen you, so change your name to fugly. The End.

Yours truly,
Roger

The majority of you people are on crack or taking a
couple of shots of vodka before hitting the keyboard.
Yes, I believe that The Alamo is haunted considering
all of the violence and what happened there. On a
visit, I had a picture of my sister and I taken in
the front and there were 2 “orbs” that were caught on
it. And that is about the ONLY experience that I’ve
had there.

ok i’ve been to the alamo and i haven’t seen, heard, or feel anything weird.

I agree with Brianna. Most of you don’t even make sense. Does anyone monitor these comments? I have been to the Alamo several times. I have never seen any ghosts, but I have felt a heaviness come over my body and great sadness. Considering the slaughter that took place there, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Alamo was haunted. By the way, grow up or stay off of these message boards. Idiotic comments show your lack of intelligence.

me and my sister we were walking tords a little room and we saw a man writting something on a piece of paper. i went to go get my parents and my sister jessica stayed there. my parents came and they saw it. they were shocked and my sister jessica stayed watching him and she saw him disapper while we were talking. we tould her what happen but she didnt say nothing because she was in shock and stayed like that for a day and she didnt go to sleep she stayed whit the same face she had when she saw that man.

For those of you who would like to know of other Haunted Hotels in the San Antonio area. We stayed this past summer at the Omni Mansion Del Rio Hotel right along the Riverwalk. I tell you what, this Hotel is just way to creepy for me. The management at this hotel does not want the public to know that it is haunted. However, my husband got some creepy ghost stories out of an employee there. I know that this place was built in the 1850’s, otherwise it is a beautiful hotel. If anyone knows any stories on this Hotel please give us your story

diz is so reel … cuz i waz in da alamo

I have been to the Alamo plenty of times. I have never known it was haunted though.

this is a *** story

I went to the Alamo and i never had an incounter but i thought that the walls were going to fall like at the battle of jerico.when jesus told the good to defeat the bad AND THEY TOTALLY DID!!!!
YA IT WAS THE BOMB-DIGITY!!!!!!!

I went to the Alamo and i never had an incounter but i thought that the walls were going to fall like at the battle of jerico.when jesus told the good to defeat the bad AND THEY TOTALLY DID!!!!
YA IT WAS THE BOMB-DIGITY!!!!!!!LOL

I lived in San Antonio for several years and have visited the Alamo many many times both during the day and at night. I never even once saw, felt or heard anything unusual. Sorry.

I HARDLY BEEN TO THE ALAMO BUT I SAW THE GHOST OF A MAN IT WAS R KELLY….REALLY!!! I AM GAY!!!!!!

First off, I didn’t spend a whole lot of time in the Alamo building itself because there was WAY too many people in there for it’s size, but nothing interesting happened. I find it hard to believe that Davey Crockett would act like a retard for people unless someone was dressed up as him.

I went to the Alamo briefly during the day and I saw no ghosts that I was aware of anyway. Everyone seemed to be from modern times. This does not mean it isn’t haunted because ghosts show themselves to who they want to see them at the time,are more active during certain times or conditions, and sometimes they are noticed when they are not aware of it. They are not just standing around on display for your amusement. A sighting is a gift of significance to either you, the ghost, or someone in the immediate area. They are attracted to some people and then there are other people who will never see a ghost unless it is caught on camera. Ghosts are in many locations and of course the Alamo would be a good bet on a location just because of the sheer magnitude of tragedy and loss. They may also be found in places without that kind of history and may either stay for a long period of time or just be passing through. Some are evil, some just average, and some are good. You can scoff if you like but there is a whole world out there that you are missing and you should never just discount the experience of someone else. On the other hand ghost fans should look for other explanations is possible but don’t be surprised if they are not always available. I have had many experiences just not at the Alamo - but again my visit was brief. So happy haunting to all of you!

I don’t even know why Brianna Bustos and Bueatiful are in this website if they don’t believe in ghosts. I mean I totally believe every single one of these stories because I know what it feels like to be victim to a paranormal experience, even if it wasn’t at the Alamo. It’s alright if you don’t believe in ghosts, because we can do nothing to change your mind but then get the fucken **** outa this website!! because it’s not for you non-believers.

: )

I read about the Alamo. I think it would be haunted.
Alot of people tell me that ghost are not real. But i think they are.Ghost are like their souls.But some ghost are mean because the person who died,has been bad and the devil goes into their soul and they become a real bad ghost. I lived in a haunted house before! It was pretty dang scary. Everynight i would hear sounds and everytime i would clean, everytrash i would pick up would fly back down on the floor.It Was Scary!

I do belive the Alamo is haunted. Me and my cousin Blake went around the area around 11:00 PM because we were taking a long walk trying to figure out a way to beat a stupid video game and we ended up seeing a tall pale white man in a Texan war suit. We looked puzzeled at him and my cousin faintly laughed at the way he was dressed. I nudged him ever so lightly and we decided to have a smal conversation with the man.

“Hello, how are you sir?” I asked

The man didn’t answer

“Hey! Listen to us! We’re trying to be friendly!” My cousin yelled.

Still no answer

“It’s as if he doesn’t even know we’re here” I told my cousin quietly

We heard my cousin’s mom shouting to come inside so we turned our heads and waved. When we looked back the man was gone. We didn’t hear any footsteps leaveing and so we both started looking around the area but no man. We quickly relized about the Alamo and that every soldier there was killed by the Mexican. So we ran off back to the house crying our eyes out from being scared. What? We were little!

hi all, i have been to the Alamo and tho I didnt see anyhting,. I did feel avery solem{is that how that is spelled?} feling that seemd to prevade thourhout the place.

I have gone to the Alamo, and although I didn’t see any ghosts the first time I did see something the second time. My family and I were traveling down the street walking to a wax museum which is across the street from it, while we were walking I looked over to the Alamo and saw a figure on top of the Alamo.

i have been to the alamo a few times and every time i go i always have a weird feeling of someone watching me and i think i saw something in the bars of a window. I am to scared to go inside anymore.

For the record, ALMOST every last single one of you needs to stop typing/posting on websites until you figure out how to properly utilize the English language to include spelling, grammmar and syntax. It is really embarrassing to see this many people unable to communicate clearly with one another via message boards.

Secondly, the Alamo may just in fact be haunted by ghosts or spirits of the deceased if you will. I was born and raised in Texas and have been to the Alamo several times when I was younger. I never had any sort of “experience” while there but that isn’t to say it doesn’t happen. Studies have been conducted on the site and to help clarify some of the previous disagreements on the subject…the Alamo was never in fact completely destroyed. It was in fact damaged severely prior to March of 1836 but repairs were in fact made as were latter repairs, years down the road, caused by the natural course of nature. Also, David Crockett in fact did NOT wear a coonskin hat or buckskin tunic or any of that trussed-up Hollywood costume garbage that one sees in movies, he also did NOT carry a large knife on his person. One of you mentioned seeing his “ghost” with a large knife in his pocket…there stands a very good chance that you are confusing him with Colonel James Bowie (commander of the Texan Volunteer Army at the Alamo, Lt Col William Barrett Travis was the commander of the Texas Army regulars) and you are either just confused or you are a terrible liar. That also goes for those of you who claim to have been out walking around the Alamo as if it sits across the street from you in your neighborhood. The Alamo is located in downtown San Antonio, surrounded by office buildings and businesses, so you might want to edit your stories somewhat. And yes, the Alamo was not just the actual chapel itself. The Alamo was the entire compound within a walled perimeter (which does not exist wholly intact today) and included several other buildings to go along with the chapel.

Now, I am done and will gladly climb off my soap box. However, some of you youngsters and you older, immature adults who should know better, need to read the guidelines for posting on this site before you blight the appearance of this website. Try to keep it clean if you will please. No one wants to hear the filth and dirtiness of your mouths. Thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am being as honest with you as I can possibly be. I am a 54 year old grandmother who was born in Jacksonville, Texas, and grew up in Tyler, Texas, which is East Texas and lies between Dallas and Shreveport. When I was a very small child, approximately 5 years old, my father and grandmother took me to San Antonio to see the Alamo. This was probably the year of 1958. Mind you, I had never heard of the Alamo, and since I wasn’t school age, I had no clue about the battle that had taken place there. And I had never learned to read. I was just a little red haired freckled faced kid that knew that we were going there, and I just thought it was a place where tourists go, for whatever reason. As we walked across the manicured green grass lawn to the the big limestone building, I got a strange sense of “Deja Vu.” I looked up at my Daddy and said “This is where they shot the cannon balls at us.” He said “What? Who shot the cannonballs at you?” I told him Santa Anna and his army. I wasn’t frightened at all. As we walked through the big doors, I looked around at the high ceilings and smelled the smells there and saw the rifles hanging on the wall, the replica of the Bowie Knife under the glass case, and Davy Crockett’s coon skin hat, as well as many other artifacts and uniforms and such that as I recall were there. I started naming names. I started talking about Sam Houston and others. I said “Look Daddy, there is a knife like Jim Bowie’s and there is Davy Crockett’s coon skin cap!” as we walked through the big room and viewed all the things in the “museum.” As I walked around the big room, I looked at my grandma and my father and I stood there and cold chills shot through my body as I said, “I’ve been here before.” It scared my Daddy so bad that he told me to shut up. And I could hear him and my grandma whispering about what had just happened. It hurt my feelings, and I cried. I thought he was saying that I was lying. I Knew I wasn’t lying. And as we walked out into the courtyard, there was a small gift shop. I remember thinking how upset it made me. And I couldn’t help but blurt out “That ain’t supposed to be there.” “Why on earth would they put that there?” And as we walked around, I just soaked it all up like a little sponge. I remember feeling feelings of familiarity, sadness, even anger, all going through my body. We went home that night and my father told my mother what had happened and she was just in awe of it all. It scared her and she said “Well, that’s really strange.” As I got older and we later studied about my Texas heritage, the incident just kinda faded. I wasn’t really that interested in the history and the battle that took place there. I was a girl and I was in Junior High and I had my girlfriends and I was just starting to discover boys, so I kinda had other “fish to fry.” One incident that made my mother’s hair stand on end, was when I was having trouble with this girl who wanted to fight me. I was in the 9th grade. I was a sweet Christian girl, who had never been in a fight, other than with my sister, nor was I one to cause trouble. My parents were very strict, and that just wasn’t acceptable. This one girl who just kept on aggravating me and trying to stir up trouble was starting to really make me angry. One day, after her constant troublemaking, I just stood there and picked up a stick. I drew a line in the sand and I remember saying “Step across the line, and there’s gonna be trouble!” She did, and I had taken all I was gonna take. I remember wallowing around on the ground with her and just pulling her hair and she bit me and I bit her back. I got into some major trouble and got several licks by the principal’s board and a few chosen licks from my Daddy’s belt when I got home. I had never used that comment before (step across the line). I didn’t know where it came from. I also had Claustrophobia. I didn’t like the thought of tight places. I would use the phrase “I don’t like to be hemmed in here.” My father was a fireman. He would come home tired and sad and tell my Mother about how he had pulled some bodies off some mattress springs that had burned and all that was left was charred bodies and bones. I remember hearing that and thinking, “Oh God, I don’t want to EVER be in a fire and be burned.” It also to this day, just does me in when I hear how someone got cremated. I have told my kids to Never cremate my body, that I want to be buried. Even the thought of being buried just does me in. I have often prayed that the Lord would come back and take me to heaven during the resurection so that I wouldn’t have to be buried. Life has gone on, and nothing else eventful happened until a few years ago, when I was about 47. I kept having this repetative dream in which I was a little schoolboy and in my dream I looked around and I could see a room with several little twin beds with white cotton sheets on them. I knew that one belonged to me. Then I would walk into another adjoining room and I would go to school and I remember dipping this feather quilled pen into an inkwell. I remember a woman who was teaching me and my friends calling me “Billy.” I looked down and I had little blue-gray pants on, that were short pants, with buttons at the knee. In my dreams, I was always so sad and the dream would always end with me crying and I would have that “Startle reflex” like you are falling and then your body jerks, kind of like little babies do in their sleep. Anyway, one night, after just dreaming this dream, I was awake and I prayed, “Lord, I don’t want to dream this anymore. Why is this happening to me?”
I was starting to be open to the possibility that maybe I was reincarnated. I felt so weary in that moment and I fell back into a deep sleep. I dreamed that I walked back into the Alamo as an adult and I stood there, all alone. I looked around and asked God again, “Please tell me, Who was I?” I remember looking down at a large pink granite tombstone and it read, “WILLIAM BARRET TRAVIS.” As I stood there, I weeped. I knew right then and there, knew that it had been revealed to me.” All of a sudden, my body was being sucked down into that tombstone, which was like a flat footstone. And I woke up in my bed. I was in shock, but relieved, like the whole mystery was solved and that the torment was finally over. In school, I know we probably studied about this man, but I really don’t even recall it. I actually remember studying more about Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. After this happened, I told my mother and she is Amazed and Totally believes me, cause she knows I wouldn’t lie. She feels like I have “Been around” before. She says it’s just too big of a coincidence, (all of the events that have taken place.) I now live in Northern Idaho. I moved when I was in my early twenties and when I was 25, I remember telling my husband, “I just know that I won’t live to be 26!” I experienced real anxiety when it was close to my 26th birthday and just knew I was gonna die. My birthday came and went and I didn’t know why I felt that way. When I was 47, after the reveal, I went to the library and went online and read everything I could get my hands on about Col. William Barret Travis. I read with so much interest his biography and his famous “letter.” So much of his biography was just “Greek” to me, as I didn’t really have any recallections about his life. But several things hit me like a TON OF BRICKS! Like the fact that he loved the gemstone “Tiger Eye,” which is one of my favorite stones. When I was in my early 20s, I asked my husband at a gemshop in Texas one day to buy me this pendant. It was “Tiger Eye.” I was just so drawn to it and I have since lost it. But I have an antique Tiger Eye ring my mother gave me. I love it. Also, I read that he was only 26 when he died. Boy, did cold chills hit me then! I never thought I’d make it that far. And I guess one of the things besides the revealing dream that I believe God gave me, is my Undying Love for my state of Texas. I have Texas pride that cannot be explained. Yes, I moved to Idaho many years ago, when our friends from Longview, Texas had previously moved up here and we visited them, so my husband could go big game hunting for elk and bear.
Ever since I have moved from Texas, I have just grieved for Texas. I miss my family of course, most of all, but as much as I love them, there is my Undying love of Texas. Now that I am grown, I would Love to go back to the Alamo and just “take it all in,” again. I have seen movies about the Alamo and I watch them, just hoping that it will “Spark” a memory for me. Some things do come back to me, like him “Drawing the line in the sand.” And I found it kinda strange, when I wanted to name my first born son “Travis”, but my husband’s cousin had already named his son Travis. I was so disappointed when my husband said that he didn’t want to anymore. And I have Always loved “Aunt Jemima Syrup.” I am a woodworker and I even made some Aunt Jemima’s with the little scarves on top of their heads. I am so drawn to these things. Guess what? William Barret Travis’s mother’s name was “Jemima.” Also, I find it ironic that my grandfather’s name is Charles and my Dad’s name is Edward. Charles Edward was William’s first child’s name. I thought that was too, ironic. I know that all this seems so strange, since I am a woman. And I am a mother and grandmother. But I have seen programs about reincarnation and many times we die one sex and come back another sex when we are born into the world again. I am not trying to influence anyone about my beliefs. I form my own beliefs and I expect Yall to do the same. But I guess quite possibly one of the most ironic things is how much I love any kind of Muzzleloader. I love loading the powder down the barrel with the ball and then seating the ball down into the rifle barrel with the greased patch. Not bragging, but I can out-shoot many of the men here in Idaho. I also have a love of guns. And every single time I go back to Texas I want to bring home every souviner I can get my hands on, especially ones with the state of Texas or the Texas flag. My refrigerator is just covered in Texas magnets. The other day, when I wanted to hang my new Texas flag up outside for 4th of July, my husband stated that the Idahoans might not like it. I looked him right in the eye and said “YOU TRAITOR!” “How can you feel that way?” When he told me to calm down, I almost felt hate for him. How on earth could Anybody not love a Texas flag? I am VERY defensive of Texas and I Always will be. Coincidence? You Decide. I am not here to get attention. I am just telling you my experiences. Now you know why my Mama calls me “William B.” I Will go back to the Alamo someday, if the Good Lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise!

i so think the Alamo is haunted;;
i didnt even know it was haunted til like a couple weeks ago…. which would explain the odd feeling i had when i went to the Alamo.
I live in Michigan and my aunt,uncle, & cousin live in Texas.
so we’ve gone like 3 or 4 times there.
Last time i went was for christmas and new years for 2007.
we went to san antonio[[the alamo]]
AND i SWEAR! i felt someone whisper in my ear saying” step a little closer or go home”
no1 was around and no1 was behind me. and a stick flew RIGHT PAST MY FACE. it wasnt windy at all until after i heard this whisper. it was like a moment of wind. ill probably go again with like a tape recorded and like a camera.

First of all.. do people not know that ghost don’t appear to everyone??? do they not know that just because a place is haunted doesn’t mean they and everyone that visits is going to encounter anything??? come on people just because you did not see anything do not assume it is not haunted. Get your head out of your ***!

this haunted house is very cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! chek it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I am a Texas native and have been to the Alamo several times. I believe in ghosts but have never had a ghostly experience at the Alamo at anytime that I have been there. I did feel a solemnity and a deep sadness that permeates the entire place. I have been there when the Alamo was full of tourists and also when the Alamo was nearly empty. I would be surprised to learn that given the historical facts behind the Alamo that it would not be haunted. Those men died horribly fighting for something they believed in..

bull ****…:D

well, I’ve been there once, expecteing to see a soldier walking around than suddenly vanishing, but i saw nothing….i was very disappionted…but i did have vibes….i felt like something was watching me…….

Listen to all the people out there, talking about how the Alamo isn’t haunted. They only say things because they don’t know the truth, it’s easy to make a lie then telling a true story, to those people who talk about the ghost they seen and the true stories I believe that these men put up a battle only to save their land and they are still here today doing the same.

I’ve been to the Alamo several times during my childhood and adult life. My first time there, I walked through those large wooden doors and froze. Yes, you can feel the solemnity of the atmosphere but to those who can feel a bit more than others, there’s something else there on the grounds. It’s ancient and angry. It creeped me out my first time and I went into hysterics. I wanted out. I didn’t want to be watched anymore. My parents called me names and said I was an embarrassment. However, this continued to happen each time I’ve gone to pay my respects. The last time I went was after I got married. My spouse had never been and wanted to sample Texas history. There’s a new gift shop there within the grounds and theoretically, ghosts or whatnot should not be sensed in a ‘new’ building one would think. No, that presence had saturated that building too. My spouse commented I looked like I was about to faint while I was there. It was strong, very overpowering. I talked to several people, and they’ve sensed the exact same thing. Near as I can tell, I believe that whatever is there was there before the Mission itself was constructed. Warning to you all - don’t go in looking for ghosts, just respect those who gave their lives for freedom. However, if you’re sensitive at all…you may want to avoid it.

Wasn’t this place used by the Catholic Spanish Missionaries to convert the Native Americans to Catholism.

Daniel Boone died at the battle, because someone shot him. And the Alamo was used as a prison as well, right.

Rita Barron, do you think that God allows reincarnation? I wonder if I was ever reincarnated. Because, sometimes I feel like I’ve been to a place before, but I just dismiss those feelings. And if I was reincarnated then how come I can’t remember any of my past lives. I hope when I die God will allow me to be reincarnated.

you IDIOTS that place is NOT haunted!!!!!
i took that tour when i was younger and stayed at the hotell ACROSS THE STREET!!!!!!!!!! I LOOKED OUT EVERY NIGHT AT THAT PLACE AND SAW NO GHOSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I live in Mission Tx and have visited the Alamo many times. But on this one specific visit as I entered the Alamo I felt a vibe. Just looking around gave me goosebumps. Especially in the room that contains and happens to be the place were many people died. I noticed that there were writing on the walls. But I also felt as if someone or something was watching me. I never really saw a ghost of a soldier or anything but I still had the same feeling. For those of you who do not believe in ghost that is your opinion. But why critize the people that do believe? Well thats my story.

In answer to your question, Tiff, I can’t say for sure, because only God knows the answer to that. And I am no expert. I just know what has happened to me all my life.
I can only say what I experienced as a child and throughout my life. The bible says that in the end, it will all be revealed. Let’s put it this way, to me, it is the only thing that makes sense. I really believe we will know when we see the Lord in Heaven. I believe that He will reveal it to us. All of our questions will be probably be answered. Yours Truly,
Rita Barron

Ok i wanna say that if you say “Ive been there and there’s no ghost!” Well maybe its just cuz you didnt see any! just cuz a few people dont see anything doesnt mean there not real! gosh! I do think ghosts are real, ive had alot of incounters with them and plus have you seen god, NO! Well his real i know that but maybe even if you havent seen god his still out there!Same for ghosts there still out there! (plus my family is very in touch with the other side and paranormel acts)

Ive been 2 the Alamo b4 and i didnt c ne ghosts or get a weird feeling but then again i think i was like 11 so i dont really remember it….. but who knows? there might be some hauntings there.

DANIEL BOONE DID NOT DIE AT THE ALAMO. HE DIED IN 1820.

Thank you P your right the alamo was transpoted with what was left and spirits do not pack up and go aswell the ghost that person probably had a conversation with was prob a homeless person from the Sam Shelter around the corner so there are no ghost and theres no basement in the Alamo. But they were still entertaining comments

this is so not true!!!!!!i live in san antonio and nothing like that has ever happeneed if you want to know some real ghost stuff the railroad story of the kids is true through and through i have pics (and no they are not fake)

It’s real. I live in TX (granted, I live in Dallas, but I have been to the Alamo too many times to count). Of those times, there’s only one time something has happened.
The incident occured the last time I was in San Antonio. I was in town for the Aggie v. Penn State game, and it was around Christmas time, so the place had Christmas lights all aournd the riverwalk and the Alamo. It was nighttime and before me and my now husband were to hit up the riverwalk, we decided to go to the Alamo.
So we get into the Alamo and it’s all dark and surprisingly there’s very few people there. My now husband was reading all the information that they have posted out in the plaza area, while I trekked over to the room with all the flags.
There was only one other person in there leaning on the ground, hat off and pressed on his chest, and appeared to be praying. Being that he is oddly dressed and I have no tact, I stared at him like an idiot trying to figure out why he was dressed like that. He had the old western getup on. He noticed me and stood up and bowed to me saying “Howdy Ma’am.” I figured he was a tourguide or reinactor or something along those lines, so I mustered up a sarcastic “Howdy” back at him. He laughed at me, shook his head, and put his hat back on. And that’s when he walked off…and right through a wall.
I stood there in shock for a moment; then I ran like he** outta there. I’m not kidding…either that was a ghost, or that’s the best d*mn reinactor I’ve ever seen
